An official high-up in the Hamas terrorist group has vowed to tear up agreements with Israel if it wins control of a future Palestinian state.
Moussa Abu Marzouk, who is said to be the organisation's second most powerful figure, told the Forward newspaper that any deal or treaty with Israel would be temporary.
He also said that Hamas would not recognise Israel
Abu Marzook, who is deputy director of Hamas's political wing, refused to countenance suggestions of direct negotiations with the Jewish state. "As long as there is an occupation on our land, we have the right to defend our land by all means, including military resistance," he said.
